Hi just after some info on brake rotor dimensions. What thickness/offset/diameter rotors came on 2008 Cadillac CTS-V Brembo.
I have found a set of calipers(front and rear) very cheap for the conversion into my 1965 Falcon. I need to know the dimensions especially the thickness before i buy the calipers to make sure that I am able to get blank rotors the same dimensions drilled to ford stud pattern.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I found this here

Brake ∅

front 380 mm
rear 373 mm

But maybe there are some CTS-V owners here?

You mentioned a blank, but why can't you just have CTS-V rotors redrilled for your car?

^ Check out DBA's website. They list rotor dimensions for tons of popular cars. You might even be able to find some rotors that are close to the thickness/offset/diameter you need in the right bolt pattern...especially if you are making custom brackets.

They are some pretty massive rotors...I am in the middle of a mockup for my 80 Cutlass project right now using B-body spindles. Machining the spindle is a bit tricky for this kind of kit-14" rotors at all four corners though-and all GM stuff, you can't beat that! 18" or bigger rims are a must though.

Yes, CTS-V 2006 model rotors, hoses and calipers modified to a set of b-body spindles. I'm also adapting the 14" rear CTS-V setup on my narrowed 12-bolt as well for the Cutlass. The rotors measure 1.25" thick...pretty stout pieces and nice to have something different. For the work involved, imo it's hands down a vast improvement over the ZQ8 rears I had and the 12" front rotors.

There was no CTS-V in 2008. That was the first year for the new body style. The new V didn't come along till 2009.
